In this unit pupils learn to develop visual ideas and to realise these ideas using ICT. Pupils will need to use a computer graphics package to explore and experiment with ideas and will amend and modify their work to meet specific outcomes. They also learn to save their work as they go along. They learn to use ICT tools appropriately and will select areas of an image to cut, copy and change. They learn to export their work to other packages and import images from sources such as clip art, scanner or digital camera. Pupils will apply what they have learnt in this unit when using ICT to produce pictures, plans and maps in art, design and technology, and geography.

Use both simple and detailed designs, and discuss how they make us feel. Explain the purpose of rangoli patterns and their use within the festival of Divali. Encourage the children to recognize reflective symmetry in the shapes. Point out that the patterns usually have two axes of symmetry. Tell the children they are going to make a rangoli pattern using different media. Ask the children to apply the key skills and various techniques they have learnt in the unit to create rangoli patterns with two axes of symmetry. They could also incorporate scanned images of rangoli to make composite images. They should review work in progress and amend the designs, saving draft versions.
Print out some examples of draft and final patterns and compare them. Ask the children to talk about the changes they made to their work in progress. Compare all the patterns made using different media. Which effects were easier to produce with ICT? Which were harder to produce?
